When I do File/New Terminal, I can still generate all ISO 8859-1 
characters (such as those above) in the new terminal. It may be relevant 
for me to explain how I generate accented characters. I have my 
"Windows" key set to Multi_Key via xmodmap. Here is my .Xmodmap:
keycode 116=Multi_key
(the "Windows" key is 116 on my keyboard). So when I type for example:
<windows> ' a 
I get á
and so forth. This works in gnome-terminal, xterm, emacs, xedit, gedit, 
and mozilla mail, but *not* in abiword.
